Norfolk might be on your radar since it’s become the residence of Prince William, Duchess Kate and Prince George. But, like me, you might not know much about Norfolk other than the royal couple’s new country home is just a stone’s throw from Sandringham. I must admit I didn’t have many expectations about Norfolk before […]
Eccleston Square: London’s Bou”tech” Hotel
I discovered a cool new London boutique hotel, not surprisingly given it’s high tech features, on Twitter recently. With their fun Twitter and Instagram feeds, friendly online personality and reputation as one of the most high-tech hotels in the world, I was thrilled when Eccleston Square Hotel invited me to come check out all of […]
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty for all the Senses
Museums just typically aren’t my thing. To be completely honest, I find most of them a bit boring. But London’s Victoria and Albert Museum was able to lure me with the promise of over-the-top tartan frocks, crystal encrusted shoes and surreal accessories. The Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition, the most visited show in the history […]
Arosa: The Perfect Ski Getaway
Seemingly dropped in to a bowl, Arosa is a postcard-perfect Swiss village with dazzling 360-degree views of the Graubünden mountains. Arosa isn’t a mega-resort – you know, the ones with hundreds of kilometers of pistes – and that’s perfect for me as I’m here to attempt to learn to snowboard. There are still a great […]
Kayak Under the 2000 Year Old Pont du Gard
We don’t typically play favorites when it comes to UNESCO World Heritage Sites; they’re all import and culturally significant. But to be completely honest, sometimes they’re also a bit boring and museum-like. And if you’re a regular reader here, you know that standing behind a rope just to have a look-see typically isn’t our thing. […]
15 Reasons to Go to Friuli Venezia Giulia Right Now
Everyone knows any Italy itinerary should include visits Rome, Florence, and Venice. You might even know some of Italy’s “off-the-beaten-path” (that really aren’t so off-the-beaten-path anymore) destinations like San Gimignano, Bologna, and Cinque Terre. But I’d bet that unless you live in the Friuli Venezia Giulia like we did, you’ve probably not heard of or […]
The Beginner’s Guide to Wine Tasting
You sit down at a nice restaurant and are presented the wine list. You might ask for a few recommendations and finally settle upon a bottle to order. Before you know it, your waiter is proudly presenting the bottle to you and pours just a tasting amount in the glass with a flourish. If you’re […]
Unforgettable Winter Adventures in Swedish Lapland
Swedish Lapland is magical in the winter. Snow that sparkles like a sea of diamonds, spotting herds of reindeer, trees so heavy with snow that they dip precariously toward the ground, and green curtains dancing across the night sky. There’s a thrill to stepping off the plane at the tiny airport and spotting the negative […]
8 Types of Italian Coffees, Explained
Ordering coffee in Italy isn’t as simple as queueing up at your local Starbucks. First, Italians are unfamiliar with the concept of a queue. And second, it is always cheaper (and the Italian way) to order your coffee at the bar and drink it standing up. There likely isn’t a menu of the coffee drinks […]
Luxury Meets Nature in Rovinj
About five years I went on a “guided” day trip to Rovinj. It was pouring, cold, and the guide basically left us to do our own thing without even making recommendations of what to see. Since I thought I was going on a guided tour, I didn’t do any research and ended up aimlessly wandering […]
